When it comes to finding a family lawyer in Sydney for your family, there are a lot of things to consider. Of course you want the best for your wife or husband and children and so there is a bit of research that should go into the decision.

If you have close friends or any of your relatives who have found a great family lawyer in Sydney then it may be an easy decision. Of course, this is not always the case and so you will have to find a suitable attorney all on your own.

There is certainly no shortage of family lawyers in Sydney and this is one of the things that can make it so challenging to find the right one for you and your loved ones. Before getting into the key traits and characteristics of good family lawyers in Sydney it is important to have a strong understanding of the legal areas that they are able to assist in.

  • Property and Finances

Having the assets and finances within the household adequately allocated in the case of separation is important. It is also critical to have these safely protected in the case of a divorce for both parties. This is why having a family lawyer in Sydney is so beneficial as it helps to protect your future.

  • Child Custody

When it comes to separation, the children are very important. Settling on a fair and suitable custody decision can be challenging but the children need to be front of mind. An attorney is able to assist in this instance and both sides should have a solicitor representing them.

  • Divorce

Divorce is often a very challenging time but it is critical that you have an attorney by your side. Family lawyers in Sydney are able to assist you in all areas of the divorce process and can also aid in dealing with stress and anxiety during this difficult period.

  • Same-sex

Many family lawyers in Sydney now work with same-sex couples in all of the above mentioned areas. Same-sex couples are now afforded the same legal rights as heterosexual couples and many firms are adapting to the new state.

Having found the relevant area of legal issue that you are facing, it is then important to understand the key characteristics that should be looked for in determining the best family lawyer in Sydney for you. There are so many solicitors out there and no doubt they will all tell you that they are the one for you but it is important to note these three traits when making the decision;

  • Communication

Good family lawyers in Sydney communicate well with their clients. They don’t fill their sentences with legal terms that their clients won’t understand and they certainly do not sugar coat the events of the case. Honest and open conversations must be held between the client and their attorney for a successful outcome.

  • Experience

Experience with similar cases is going to be extremely beneficial throughout the proceedings. A solicitor with experience in your matter will be able to better handle everything that is thrown at them and give you the best chance of a fair and reasonable outcome.  

  • Personality

Whilst it doesn’t relate directly to their ability as an attorney, it is arguably the most important trait. As a client, you need to be able to get along well with your solicitor so that you feel comfortable sharing personal information with them.

This is why face-to-face meetings are important when determining the best family lawyer in Sydney for you. Getting to know them first will help build a relationship and ensure that there are no personality clashes that could have negative effects in the future.
